Victim In Me (2022)

A Weirdly Appealing Drama!

"The Disappearing Child " & "The Bad Kids " This one gave me similar vibes.So if you have watched any of those you easily get the mood.

Nobody Knows requires your full attention and your full patience.Yes is one of these Dramas you cannot play with your mobile/cat/dog while watching.And you have to dedicate yourself to it because it is not an easy watch.

Beautiful Cinematography.Emotional Music scores.Clever Direction which pulls all the right strings to make you feel a large range of emotions.Incredible and natural acting too.Zero complaints about any technicality.

As always i started it because of the Murder/Crime case.That was the "click bait" to me.Once again i fell into the same trap like a fool.The synopsis is quite misleading.Do not fully count on it.Its just the general frame.

The format regarding the timeline is weird,messy and confusing as hell.There is not a clear past-present or future.You follow the story with only indicator the time stamp which appears on your screen as a guide.
You watch the scenes and you are completely clueless about them.Because the flashbacks turns to be...flash-forwards!
I swear i paid full attention while watching.But for 10 freakin episodes in a row,i had the feeling i was missing very important details.(and this made me doubt my IQ!)But no!I did pay attention and i didn't miss any detail.
Don't worry.Every confusing scene will be cleared and fully explained in the latter episodes,so everything will make a perfect sense.

Because everything became more clear after the 10th ep.The story about the murder case(s) starts to unfold.Until then it was only a sub-plot,like the writer forgot about it.Too late for my taste,if you ask me,but at that point my interest shifted to the amazing and so well written characters,so my initial anger cooled down really fast.(because i started it with the impression it was a hard core murder case drama!)


The pace is really slow,takes its sweet time to tell the story.Which is mostly about the heartwarming friendship between the 4 main leads.Surprisingly to me i found the dialogues pretty realistic and the teen-agers' struggles,fears and hopes were too real.Going back many-many years ago(lol)i felt i could relate.And i think this is the biggest advantage of this series.The realism of every character.Made me feel for them and it was easier to follow up with everything.Because when you just don't care about the main characters there is no way to like the drama,right?

It is a fully detailed story about those kids lives.And i felt the urge as an adult,to advise them,guide them,protect them from life's hardships.I wanted to give them a big hug and assure them that everything is gonna be alright.Damn i had no idea before starting it,that will touch me in so many different ways.

If you decide to start watching it,remember to be patient.And please,do not drop it even if you are tempted to.
The last episode will pay you back for all the previous 15 eps.At least,i can guarantee you that!

"If i can save a heart from breaking...
I haven't lived in vain.

If i can take a person's pain away or relieve a person's grief
or help a lost robin to return to it's nest..
I haven't lived in vain"

Flawed and strong FL and her neighbors, and no romance

This is a very interesting revenge and feminist kdrama

So FL is a tough cookie detective pursuing revenge for like 20 years.

What struck me is that the FL is very flawed, she keeps being mental and missing the clues, making mistakes and causing danger and trouble to others....

On the other hand, she is smart so she eventually gets it and fixes it
I was impressed with her ability to connect the dots

There is kinda sorta someone who likes her but it never happens in the drama, maybe at the end and later, there are hints...

So this kdrama is really about healing, overcoming the past, overcoming the reason she wanted revenge, and yeah catching the criminal
